Zero Leakage - Positive, drop tight sealing is achieved by poppet type plunger assemblies with resilient seating discs, which close against heat treated stainless steel mitered seats.

Extended Poppet Seal Life - The dynamic seals nevercross ports during operation, therefore, cannot extrude into ports. These seals are wear compensating.

Minimal Valve Space Requirements - Compact subplate mounted design reduces space requirements by as much as 50%.

Easy Valve Maintenance - All normal maintenance can be performed from the top side of the valve without removing the valve from the system. The internals are designed eliminating all “press” fitted as ell as “selectively” locked parts or assemblies. Cavities conform to international DIN standards and are sleeved to facilitate seal and parts replacement.

Directional Control Function Flexibility - Main control valve function can be changed by removing the top plate and relocating the plugs in the pilot fluid passageways.

Less Inventory Required - Because such parts as poppets, seals, etc., are interchangeable between 2-, 3- and 4-way valves, spare parts inventory requirements are minimized. Exchanging the poppet assembly replaces all dynamic seals.

Built in Flow Controls - Totally independent “meter-in” and/or “meter-out” flow control from either port is accomplished by simply limiting the poppet stroke by use of the externally accessible stainless steel flow control screw.

Maximum Efficiency of Fluid Flow - The design of the passage-ways through Elwood Directional Control Valves,
results in outstanding valve efficiency and minimum pressure drops, allowing smaller Elwood valve size selection for most applications. Thus, it is smaller in comparison to competitive valves and requires less manifold space.

Pilot Designed to Suit Application - For heavy duty mill type applications, our standard air actuated packed spool
pilot valve (Bulletin E82) is furnished. This valve requires no secondary operating media.

Six Poppet Models Available - Designed for dual speed applications.

Versatility:
Here are a few examples of the versatility of the Elwood Valve, illustrating multi-purpose valves. As many as nine (9) positions are available in one valve, though normally, only 4 to 5 positions are used. This flexibility eliminates the need for additional valving and manifold space. Any existing standard 3-position Elwood Valve can be converted to provide multi-position valves. This offers considerable versatility in the field, as design requirements change, without requiring manifold or piping changes. Basic valves are interchangeable, therefore spares are minimized. In addition to the illustrated functions, several others are available; contact Elwood.

Features:
This example demonstrates how circuit design, manifolding and piping are simplified. This is achieved by eliminating the need for piped-in or manifolded speed and flow control valves. The Elwood Valves have integral externally adjustable flow control screws.

Heavy-Duty Durable Design Using
Corrosion-Resistant Materials:
Seals are self-compensating. The same piston rings are used throughout. Spool is hydraulic-balanced, assuring uniform wear and eliminates concentricity problems. Designed with no-lap fitted parts.

Versatile:
Changing the main valve function is accomplished by changing pilot spool and plugs. Multiple positions of the main valve are achieved by mounting an additional pilot valve. For additional pilot valve information see Bulletin E82. Recommended air supply: 60 PSI (4 bar) minimum; 120 PSI (8 bar) maximum inrush current for 110/120 Volt 50/60 Hz and 220/240 Volt 50/60 Hz is 87 VA, holding 30 VA.
